Summary
Arriving in San Francisco to check up on Kane (aka Weapon X) for Guardian, what Logan encounters in Kane's apartment is Deadpool who tries to kill Logan immediately upon entrance. After trading a few slices with each other (Logan with his claws and Deadpool with his swords), Deadpool manages to take out Logan with his sword and leaving Logan to die, heads out to locate Kane and kill him.
Meanwhile, at a play auditorium, Kane is seen rehersing a scene of a play with Vanessa, who was once Deadpool's girlfriend but is now Kane's girlfriend. (You'll have to be a reader of X-Force to understand the relationship that Vanessa had with Deadpool.) As they were rehersing, Deadpool shows up.
Still waiting for his healing factor to kick in, Logan manages to figure out that Kane was probably at a rehersal based on a picture he had on the wall with the name of a theatre on it as well as him and a few other cast members in the picture. In his poor condition, he takes a cab and heads for the theatre.
Meanwhile, in the theatre, Kane had transformed himself into Weapon X so that he could combat Deadpool. Vanessa joins the fight against Deadpool. Outside, the taxi that Logan was in had lost its brakes, but it had been long enough that Logan had finally healed himself and, using a taxi door as a skateboard, slid his way to the theatre where Kane and Vanessa were at the mercy of Deadpool. At the last moment, Logan leaps in and takes the sword blow that was aimed to kill Vanessa. Seeing that he was now outmatched, Deadpool makes a getaway with the aid of a hand grenade.
At the end, as Logan leaves, he tells how Vanessa should look to Kane to protect her since Deadpool will never give up on his quest to kill her. He departs on a motorcycle and heads home.
